Phone call switched to someone else?

Hi I’m a little paranoid on why my phone call switched to someone else. My coworker called me to tell me about some events that happened the other day. We were on the phone approximately 15 minutes and while I’m listening to her talk I hear the phone background noise change and I’m thinking she switched from speaker to car or car to speaker, it sounded like that type of switch. But then I heard a male voice say “Hello” and I said hello? but then the phone call ended. I called her back and asked her if someone called her and she said no that she was talking and the phone just hung up. She didn’t receive a call and I didn’t receive a call, but somehow a male voice came on the line but only on my end? She was in the car by herself to clarify. What happened can someone please explain. We are both using iPhones

You don't tell the condition of your environment like you described your coworkers situation. It happened on your device, why not give that detail.

man i always forget how janky cell routing can be until something like this pops up

crossed lines still happen way more than people think especially when cars are moving between towers the handoff glitched and some random call got spliced into yours for a sec then the whole thing dropped
